SEED TREATMENT 
In recent years the spread of parasitic diseases 
has made it increasingly necessary to treat vege- 
table seeds with a protective agent, to guard 
against the spores or germs which lie in wait 
for the young plants, particularly in the soil. 
Extensive trials by different authorities and 
under widely varying field conditions, as well 
as practical experience in the growing of Asgrow 
seed crops has led to our recommendation of 
Spergon as one of the best protectants, except 
on beet and grass seed. Spergon is a non-metallic, 
non-poisonous powder to be shaken with the 
seed before sowing. It adheres readily, forming 
a protective and disinfectant coating. 
For home gardeners, Spergon is available at seed 
stores in small, inexpensive 2-0z. packages to- 
gether with simple instructions. For market 
growers, Spergon may be had in 1-lb. and 5-lb. 
containers, and the rate of application for some 
of the principal species would be, per 100 Ib., 
approximately as follows: Peas—3 oz.; Beans 
and Lima Beans—3 oz.; Sweet Corn—3 oz.; 
Broccoli—6_0z.;_| Carrot—l2 oz.; Eggplant— 
4 oz.; Endive—12 oz.; Lettuce—12 o0z.; Melon— 
12 oz.; Okra—8 oz.; Parsley—16 oz.; Parsnip— 
20 oz.; Pepper—8 oz.; Spinach—14 oz. 
For the treatment of beet seed, red copper oxide, 
Cuprocide or Semesan will give very satisfactory 
results.
